    A lot of unknowns on this list Werridee, hoping they stay down for a few more years.!!

    Without Mitchell, O’Meara and Gunston that look very raw and young.
     

    Bottom 4 for sure

    Backline looks decent, including Hardwick and DGB on the bench.  The ball is going to spend a lot of time down there with that young midfield.

    Building a backline with plenty of dash. Would say that they are still 2 years off finals but then they will probably come out and make top 4.

    I won't go into depth on the Hawks the way I have with some other teams, or for some of the other teams that I think are clearly not going to feature in the top 2/3rds of the ladder.  As far as their propects go they're on the nose with punters and as far as the draw goes every match they play will be difficult, about the only interesting thing is that they play North twice which will be interesting as both these teams are the two leading contenders for the spoon, but Clarko will be simply desperate to beat his old mob.

    On paper it's hard to see where they've improved the list in the short term other than bringing in Meek.  Yes the defence looks ok until you realise there were only 3 other sides that coughed up more points than the Hawks last year.  The main interest on Hawthorn from the footy world will be what happens now.  In terms of rebuilds does Mitchell elevate himself to the likes of Clarko and Dimma or does he join Neeld, Bolton, Teague, and Rutten?  

    They've traded away their two top CP winners from last year  in Mitchell and O'Meara as well as three time premiership player Liam Shiels- either it's very brave by Mitchell or deliberate engineering of the list to get better draft picks in the short term maybe ahead of an announcement on a 19th team.    The jury is still out on Worpel who has massive disposal issues.  Jai Newcomb has been a surprise packet, but not enough to carry the midfield in the absence of other genuine ball winners - particularly if Worpel can't get back to his B&F form.   They also traded away a three time leading goal kicker and considering Mitch Lewis is unlikely to play much of the first half of the season -so there's a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of Bruest and Wingard and quite frankly the later looks to be playing only to bolster his superannuation, so it's all on the 32 year old to kick a winning score. 

    I picked the the Hawks to win the spoon last year and they jumped up and won 8 games - with the departures though I'm doubling down having gone a year too early with my prediction.

    Hawks should win the spoon but Essendon will give them a run for their money as will North.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
